A life lesson from AMY BLOOM (Real Simple, December 2009):
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE AND YOUR HAND ON THE PLOW
It's easy to lose sight of what you want, especially if you haven't gotten it. I know it's less work to put the wish away, to pretend that the wish itself has disappeared. But it's important to know what your prize is, because that is part of who you are. Whether it's financial stability, two children, a collection of poetry, or a happy marriage, take Winston Churchill's advice and never give in. Never give in. Never give in.
GROWING AS A WRITER? GAINING WISDOM? LET'S "SHOW UP AND GET TO WORK"!
